Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder Girl's Counterattack

Chapter 35 Shopping

Before going to bed, I heated up some water in her home kettle, took a simple hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and lay comfortably on the sofa with a soft and warm blanket on my body, feeling very happy.

I looked out at the dark blue sky and the big moon through the large glass window, and thought to myself that this is the night scene that city people see every night. There is no cooking smoke, no animal calls, and it is very quiet.

I have a kind of expectation for the future, I want to work hard and earn a lot of money.The more than 200 yuan I have now is my first pot of gold, and my first goal is to buy a house.

In the future, I will definitely let everyone in my family live a good life and stop making my elder brother so hard.

I've been out for so long, I don't know if Mom and the others are looking for me?Or have you given up on me and left me alone?I fell asleep thinking about it...

The next day, when I got up, the sun was already high, and the whole room was filled with sunlight. When I looked up and saw the clock on the wall, it was already past nine o'clock.

I've never woken up so late and jumped off the sofa in a panic.Hurry to find Sister-in-law Bai, she is sitting by her bed, doing accounts with a pen.

Seeing that I was up, he smiled and said, "Are you up? Go eat, I bought fried dough sticks and pancakes."

I said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, I got up late."

"What's the matter? You're going to be exhausted after working for a few days, and you should take a break. Go out with me later. I've already agreed with the renter over there. Let's go and see that place together. If If it’s suitable, rent it directly.”

I agreed and hurried to wash up.Inadvertently saw a mirror on the wall.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he has become dark and thin, the flesh on his face is sunken, but his eyes are very bright.I smiled to myself, encouraging myself to keep going!

After a casual meal, my sister-in-law and I went to the street in front of the hospital.

There are a lot of small vendors here, selling everything, all kinds of snacks, clothes, of course, the most important thing is to sell fruits, all kinds of brightly colored, good-looking big fruits are placed in the brightest place.Because most of them are bought when visiting patients, they must look good, and taste bad is second.

The shopkeepers of each store kept waving fly plugs in their hands to drive away flies and small bugs, and yelled loudly in their mouths.

Sister-in-law Bai asked, "What do you think? Will you make a fortune?"

"Well, I will definitely not lose money, but I don't know if I can make a fortune."

Sister-in-law Bai smiled: "The two of us are really different, and you are really conservative."

I smiled embarrassedly, and then went to look at the house opposite the hospital. There was a newly built five-story western-style building there. Although the appearance was ordinary, the area seemed not small.

I thought to myself, these people who live here don't know that in a few years, this place will be demolished, and the people who own the houses here will become rich.

Sister-in-law Bai asked me curiously: "Why don't you look at the fruit stand, what are you looking at this house for?"

I smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are talking about buying a house here. I don't know how much it will cost?"

Sister-in-law Bai said: "It's very expensive, and it costs about 2 yuan. Now it's all welfare housing, and some people sell it secretly, and the houses are not sold much. However, the houses on the two streets behind It can be cheaper, the area here is large, and almost all of them are well-decorated, so it’s a bit expensive.”

I thought about the money in my hand and just smiled wryly, even if I knew that the business would make a profit without losing money, I would not be able to get out the capital.

"Let's go! Go talk to the boss over there." Sister Bai patted me on the shoulder.

She had been here several times before, and the 60-year-old shop owner warmly received us as soon as we entered.

He smiled and said, "I knew you would definitely come! How about it, have you decided?"

Sister-in-law Bai said, "I'll bring someone to take a look, okay, I'll just sign it."

I looked at the house, the area was only about ten square meters, and there were some useless daily necessities left inside, which looked messy.

He asked for a very high price, [-] yuan a year in rent, not a single cent, and he didn't sell it, he just rented it out.

Sister-in-law Bai asked me how I was doing, I nodded and said, "The location is very good. And the glass windows are also big, very bright!"

The boss smiled and said: "This is a good place, you can earn a lot of money. I am because my son is going to work in other places, so we can only follow, otherwise we won't cash it out!"

Sister-in-law Bai directly gave him a deposit of 200 yuan and told me that it was ready, and it would officially open in three to five days.

She told me that whether it is selling fruits or vegetables, I will let me choose how to sell them. She said she can trust me.

"I know everything. By the way, sister-in-law, if there are mushrooms and fruits from my house, can I bring them over and sell them?"

"Of course! Don't ask me. But one thing is very important. You have to take care of the accounts for me. If something goes wrong, it's okay if you don't know about the money."

I smiled and nodded: "Absolutely no problem."

Sister-in-law Bai asked for the key here, and gave the boss an hour or two to collect his belongings.

She asked me to go out for a stroll first; "I'm going to meet a friend in a while, we'll gather here in a while, clean up here, and do business here as soon as possible."

I promised to separate from her and walked around the surrounding markets alone.

I used to come here in a hurry, because I had to go home quickly after selling vegetables, and I was not in the mood to go shopping. Today is different. I have time and money, so I am extra leisurely.

I went to the supply and marketing agency first, and bought a lot of candles, matches, soap, toothpaste, and some basic daily necessities.

These are things that my mother is not willing to buy at all. Now I will buy them for her and keep them for her use.I also bought myself an aluminum lunch box, after all, I will do business here in the future, and I can't eat cold every meal.

There are many clothes shops in the nearby shops. I chose a sportswear for my eldest brother, and a scarf and some pairs of socks for my mother.

In addition, I bought a pair of Jiefang shoes for my second brother and second sister-in-law alone. These are things that my mother is reluctant to buy.Although I resent them in my heart, we are a family after all, and I still have to give what I should give.

When I suddenly thought of my mother's clothes when I attended Liu Cui's wedding, I felt sad. The second brother and the others dressed well, and I never thought about her.So I pulled another piece of purple-red cloth for my mother, and prepared to make her a suit of clothes.

These cost me more than 30 yuan in total. I put these things in a cloth pocket and left the supply and marketing cooperative.

Walking past a clothing store, I inadvertently saw a black and white checkered long coat with a pinched waist from the window, and my heart moved, this dress is elegant and delicate, it must look good if Sister Cailian wears it!
When I was homeless, she took me in and gave me the skirt and shoes. I should repay her well.

I went in and took a closer look at the quality of the clothes. It was light and soft, and they were indeed very good, so I asked the waiter how much it was.

"50 yuan." The waiter looked at me for a while before saying the price.

I also hesitated for a while, I didn't expect it to be so expensive!

I have a total of two hundred on me, so it will be nearly a quarter less, but I think she is good to me, so I still plan to buy it.If you don't buy it now, you may be even more reluctant in the future.

As soon as I took out the money to the waiter, a girl strode up to me.

She touched the sleeve of the dress, looked up and down, and said: "Waiter, please take this dress off for me, I bought it."

I glanced at her, she was about 23 or [-] years old, with delicate facial features, wearing a long water red dress, carrying a small black leather bag on her back, and long hair with a shawl. This is a fashionable dress rarely seen in the city. It should be a girl from a more prosperous place like the capital.

The waiter smiled at her in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, she bought this dress first, why don't you look at other clothes?"

The girl looked at me contemptuously: "Can a countryman afford such clothes? Hurry up and wrap them up for me."

I felt very uncomfortable all of a sudden, and said to her calmly, "Could it be that the country folks are going to go to the street naked?" I put 50 yuan into the waiter's hand, and then took the clothes directly to leave.

The girl seemed very angry, and grabbed my arm forcefully: "I was the first to see this dress, please return it to me!"

I felt severe pain in my arm, and I was even more irritable, so I pushed her away hard: "Are you unreasonable? I bought it first, and you are still beating people here?"

The girl staggered back a few steps, pointed at me and shouted: "Damn country bumpkin, even if you wear such clothes, you won't look good, you've ruined everything!"

I sneered and said: "I bought the clothes back, can you do whatever I want? Even if I cut it into pieces and used it as insoles, it has nothing to do with you! You keep saying that I am a country bumpkin, but you are here shouting, Like a shrew, is this a noble city man?"

"You...you..." She pointed at me with a flushed face, unable to speak.

I continued to smile and said: "It didn't say that country bumpkins can't buy these clothes, and I can buy them naturally if I have money. If you are not convinced, sue me and shoot me. Let me tell you, not all rural people are Poor ghost, people in our village may not be able to afford things that people in your city can afford, so don't think that you can be superior to others."

After saying this, I heard a burst of applause. It turned out that all the folks who came in to buy things heard our conversation, and they were all very happy and relieved, and cheered for me.

The girl gritted her teeth angrily, her face flushed, and she rushed over to slap me: "Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that!"
